After Arin calmed down a bit, she sat beside Soobin and held his hands.
"Don't do anything repulsive like that, got it? No matter what happens, you should inform us. You have to! You know, I was so scared! Terrified! You know how much I care for you. How much I love you, don't you know that? Then, why do you keep walking on thin ice? You might not understand, but you're the most precious person, at least for me." As soon as Arin said it, Yeonjun said back,
"what do you mean at least for you? He IS the most precious person in the WORLD!"
"Don't exaggerate! Let me finish! You're not in the place to talk back!" Arin made a face on Yeonjun and looked back at Soobin.
"What did I do?" Yeonjun was surprised by her behavior towards him.
"You should've kept an eye on him. You took him in and that's why I thought he would be safe. But, you failed to protect him." Arin said while glaring at him. In reply, Yeonjun kept his mouth shut as he felt the same way.
"Noona! Why are you scolding him? Why should he keep his eyes on me? I'm not any child! Moreover, I didn't let him know so it's my fault." Soobin pressed Arin's hand and tried to protect Yeonjun.
"I see! You're taking his side not mine! Fine! It's alright! I can understand! Totally! But as your boyfriend, he has to take care of you! Got it?" Arin was getting angry again.
"Noona! This might sound so sudden, but I wanna steal your employee from you." Yeonjun suddenly proposed something that Arin couldn't understand.
"What? Which employee?" Arin was a bit curious and surprised. Yeonjun pointed at Soobin with his eyes and the hint was enough for Arin.
"What do you want?" She asked as she was suspicious about Yeonjun.
"I want him to resign and come with me to my town." Yeonjun replied. He was very serious about the matter.
"Huh? What the…" Arin couldn't had to stop as Soobin shouted,
"WHAT!"
"Listen! Listen to me first, guys!" Yeonjun assured them that he had a plan.
"Speak!" Arin patted Soobin's hand, letting Yeonjun to talk.
"I was thinking that I'll open a bakery in my town since there aren't any in the neighborhood. And I was really looking for a skilled baker, but couldn't find any. So, I thought it'd be a great opportunity if I open it and make him the main patissier. What do you think? He's quite skilled, right?" Yeonjun continued. Although it was his plan, he wasn't actually looking for a baker as the idea popped up in his head just then.
"Umm…sounds reasonable!" Arin gave it a thought and replied.
"But you have to name it as him. And you won't have any right because you have to make him the owner, if you do so, I'll consider letting him go." Arin proposed back.
"That…you don't have to ask! I'll do it anyway." Yeonjun replied as if he was challenging her.
"Then, it's done! But! There is one more thing! He will work in my place until you're ready for opening." Arin added.
"Okaaaay!" Although Yeonjun didn't like the idea, he couldn't refuse Arin.
"Guys! Do I have a say in it?" Soobin was hearing everything, but didn't dare to talk back.
"NO!" Both Arin and Yeonjun shout together, making Soobin gasp out loud. Although they nearly yelled at him, he didn't know why he was feeling like walking in the air. He grinned at them, thinking how they were arguing over him. He suddenly felt shy and kept smiling at the two of them.

[Six months later]
Yeonjun was standing, leaning on his car. Although it wasn't a parking zone, he just came to pick someone up from the hospital. He was waiting outside of the hospital and didn't go inside, wanting to surprise the person he was waiting for. After around ten minutes, Soobin came outside and noticed Yeonjun. His face gleamed with joy as soon as he saw him. Seeing his broad smile, Yeonjun's heart melted as he felt an urge to run to him and embrace him.
"Hi!" Yeonjun grinned while Soobin approached him.
"Hey! What are you doing here? Aren't you busy?" Soobin asked smilingly and stood right in front of him.
"Did you finish taking your therapy?" Yeonjun asked back. He took Soobin's hand and stood properly.
"Hm. Today was the last session. The doctor said my mental situation has developed and also suggested that I have to come back if these kinds of problems occur again." Soobin said. He looked at his fingers as Yeonjun was playing with them. Yeonjun finally intertwined his fingers with Soobin's and pulled him closer.
"Hey! What are you doing? There's so many people!" Soobin nearly whispered.
"So what? I can announce to the whole world that this person belongs to me! Only me!" Yeonjun held Soobin by his waist and pulled him closer.
"Knock it off, you jerk!" Soobin pushed him away, smirking as he felt embarrassed but tried to act cool.
"Did you just curse at me!" Yeonjun was shocked as it was the first time Soobin used such languages on him. However, he felt so happy because he understood that Soobin thought of him as a close one and that was enough for him. He giggled and opened the door.
"Okay, my king! Now, let's get going!" Yeonjun opened the door of the car and pointed inside. Soobin grinned and went in. He remembered how he was feeling the first day he rode the car. Although he has ridden it countless times within these few months, he still feels excited whenever he gets into the car. He sat still, watching Yeonjun get inside the car. How gorgeous he was looking even if he didn't put much effort into his looks! His long legs were so sexy that Soobin couldn't remove his eyes from them.
"What?" Yeonjun asked while shutting the door.
"Ah! Nothing!" Soobin blushed out of embarrassment and looked away. Yeonjun fastened both of their seatbelts and started driving. Within a few minutes, they reached the place of their destination. They got out of the car and went inside Arin's bakery.
"Wait here and I'll be right back!" Soobin requested Yeonjun to take a seat as he had something to do with Arin.
"Hi noona!" Soobin went to the kitchen to find her as he knew she'd be there around this time.
"Oh! You're back? How did the session go today? Did he give you a hard time?" Arin asked genuinely.
"No! He's a good psychiatrist! And I can feel my own development so you don't have to worry! And this was our last appointment." Soobin made her assure that he was fine.
"That's great then! But, you took today off so why did you come back?" Arin was wiping the kitchen shelf as she spilled some cream on it.
"Because it's the day, noona!" Soobin said in a low and gloomy voice. Arin gasped out loud as she just remembered it.
"Everything is completed? This soon?" She came towards Soobin, gazing at him with her motherly affection.
"Uhm." Soobin nodded. Arin sighed heavily and held Soobin's arms.
"How I wish I could tie you up! Fine! Go and live your life. But feel free to come back here if that punk makes you cry. Noona's door will always be open for you." As soon as she finished, Yeonjun talked back from behind, "that's never gonna happen!" He was following Soobin and watching them from the beginning.
"Take care of yourself and don't overdo anything." She pulled Soobin closer all of a sudden which shocked him. She kissed his forehead and then cupped his face, resisting hard to get emotional.
"I'll miss you! I'll miss this place as well." As soon as Soobin said that, she burst into tears and hugged him, wrapping her arms around his neck tightly.
"Ah! It hurts! It hurts!" Soobin was strangled mildly by her. She loosened her arms a bit, but didn't let him go.
"Promise me you'll call me and come to me every weekend." She was crying so hard that her tears got Soobin's shirt wet.
"Okay. Okay!" Soobin exceeded himself and wiped her tears with his sleeves.
"Uh-hm!" Seeing them acting so lovey dovey, Yeonjun was jealous and he coughed to seek attention.
"I think we're running late." Yeonjun glared at Arin and said.
"Shut up! You're snatching him from me and all you care about is you're running late?" Arin gawked at Yeonjun and nearly yelled at him while sniffling.

Yeonjun parked his car in an enormous garage. After getting out of the car, he opened the door for Soobin to come out. Soobin had a good nap so he felt refreshed. He got out of it and waited for Yeonjun to take the key. Yeonjun grabbed his hand and started walking fast, pulling him by himself.
"Come on! Everyone is waiting for you." Yeonjun was nearly running and Soobin didn't have any choice but to keep up with him.
When they reached near the bakery, Soobin was astounded, flabbergasted by out of shock and amusement. He stood still, without knowing how he should react. His eyes got full of tears. In front of him, there stood a gigantic establishment, decorated in a gorgeous way. Inside, it looked more amazing. The tables and chairs were spread out in some queues. In the kitchen, all of the new tools were kept orderly. There was also an underground floor, looking like a cold storage. But there were ovens, freezers, and other huge machines related to patissiere. While wandering around, Soobin was touching here and there as it didn't feel real to him. He was so touched that he nearly cried.
"Is this whole place…for me?" Soobin asked Yeonjun, suppressing his tears.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Yeonjun asked, holding his pinky finger.
"Um." Soobin nodded gently, staring at the person who made a palace-like working place just for him.
"Binnie Bakery. How does that sound?" Yeonjun asked as he didn't know if Soobin would like the name.
"Um-hm! Let's name it *YeonBin bakery*" Soobin grinned at Yeonjun and proposed. Yeonjun shyly gazed at him, smiling wholeheartedly as if it was the happiest day to him.
